ok. will look for some sand or grit. the reason i thought ceramic might be better is because plastics seem to trap the moisture in, especially indoors where the airflow isnt so good.

I liked the way this held a water drop between 3 spines and had to take some pics.

I just came back from a trip in Northern New Mexico I saved these little fellas from being crushed.
Opuntia polycantha, is my guess?
Barrel of some sort.
And I'd thought I show you guys these nice little flowers I found in Rocky Mountains:
What I believe to be Calypos bulbosa ( Venus's slipper)

I believe that cacti is either an Echinomastus intertextus right of 1st pic, left on 2nd
 
or a Escobaria vivipara cultivar (the two on the right are Escobaria vivipara ssp bisbeeana)

Looks like a rebutia or sulcorebutia of some sort. I've got a regular sulcorebutia rauschii and a crested graft, love them both! Beautiful species.

Spring: new growth and lots of flowers!
Some of these plants are already known by readers of the EBG Forum.
Echinocactus Vierecki ssp. Morricalii (previous time series pics here). At last I found a couple of mates for this guy, hope next year they'll flower in unison.
 
Likely a Mammillaria.
I guess this is a Notocactus.
  
This Hylocereus (species anyone?) is blooming for the first time. It has red flowers - not whitish as I expected. The critters that can be seen in the third of these pics could do nothing to stop it - by the way, what kind of bugs might they be?
       
This loph recovered perfectly from cracking (story here). It really enjoyed being repotted and has gone mad with flowers.
 
Another random cactus with a fruit and blooming again (Mammillaria?)
A little mammillaria hiding under a large opuntia. This has never bloomed yet, even its "mother" hasn't (it's a pup I stuck in the ground and it took well).
Small monstrose bridgesii pupping.
Tiny opuntias like to pup too!
This looks like a Gymnocalycium bodembenderianium, though I'm not sure.

Cool. I read somewhere stetsonia contains mescaline, but probably not enough to be worth extracting. So I guess it'll have to suffice as a pretty deco item..
Indeed nice cacti there globos

A barrel cactus pup a friend gave me today:
I intend to cherish this for as long as I live. He got his pup from an endemic Arizonan barrel. You guys think it's an Echinocactus or a Ferocactus?

definitely not terscheckii (gold thicker spines, slower growing, more like a barrel)
